This set compiles the first 20 episodes of the supernatural anime television series BLEACH, created by Tite Kubo. The show's main protagonist, 15-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki, has the ability to see ghosts and fights evil spirits with the help of Rukia Kuchiki, a death god from the Soul Society.

Bleach: Complete Series 2

The Soul Society At War! Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper, Ichigo and his friends make the dangerous crossing over to the Soul Society. They land on the outskirts of the Seireitei, the Soul Reapers' compound. To succeed in their mission to save Rukia from execution, they must defeat the giant gatekeeper and find some way into the walled city. But it's not going to be easy, especially once all-out-war is declared in the Soul City against Ichigo and his comrades. Will they even make it out alive?

Anyone know if it has the Japanese Audio with English Subs as an option? I couldn't watch the English dub of Bleach, it was f**king painful. I'll probably buy at least the first season plus Memories Of Nobody on principle, considering I've only bought a couple of the collected manga books and some merch but have got hours of enjoyment from Bleach it only seems fair. Heat & Rep +1.

I ended up watching the fantastic Dattebayo fansubs (although I can't remember who Dattebayo took over from, the first couple of seasons were someone else.) I'd highly recommend subs instead of dubs. I really wish the bulls**t filler arcs weren't so long, the current one is driving me crazy. Get back to the fighting!

I started to watch Diamond Dust Rebellion but gave up after about half an hour, not really my cup of tea - I just didn't get the hype

That's a really odd place to start! While the story doesn't tie in with the main story, I wouldn't have said the movie would have been enjoyable without knowledge of the Bleach universe. It's not really standalone, it expects you to already be invested in the characters, Tōshirō Hitsugaya especially. It's more a treat for Bleach fans than a movie in it's own right. I'd recommend watching the first couple of episodes of season 1, subbed not dubbed, see if it doesn't change your mind. :)
